Bourgogne Agnès Paquet (Domaine) 2022

Agnès Paquet’s estate sits in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune region and stretches over eight hectares of carefully cultivated vines, cultivated following environmentally friendly methods that include ploughing the soil manually. This white Burgundy is produced from Chardonnay, a noble grape variety typical of the region. Under her care, the vines are encouraged to draw the nutrients they require to thrive from soils consisting of clay and limestone, which create a fine balance of density and liveliness. In the winery, the grapes undergo alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in large capacity casks before the wine is matured for ten months. This is followed by two further months of maturing in vats. No new wood is used in this process, to let the delicacy of the grape variety express itself through notes of white fruit, citrus and minerals.
